Thanks for the response, Thomas. I appreciate all the time you guys put into
SVG.
Excluding hard breaking from the requirements seems awfully short-sighted,

the behaviors of even the most basic word processors and graphics programs,
which automatically wrap text.
Here's hoping it gets changed in the future.
